I already admitted I know nothing about computers, so please please please explain anything to me like I'm an eight year old! What I do know is that something is not going right. I periodically get the blue screen of death even though I had to reformat - it still seems like there's something there.

My problem now is, why does it keep periodically bogging down and locking up and the like? It never did this before I got Cydoor and God knows what else on here and had to use the restore CD. Is there any way that something could have been damaged that would not show up on the log?

Hi SmtmsAlwys. Is there a message from an anti-virus or anti-spyware program that points to Cydoor? I do not see any signs of it anywhere. Cydoor is normally installed from another program (most notably file-sharing programs). Do you have any of these installed on this computer?

Try this:

Go here: and perform steps 4, 5 and 6. If any of those programs report infections post the logs back here and I will review them when they come in.

Cheers.

No, I mean that it was on the computer. From everything I read/heard, it seemed that the restore cd was the logical answer. I used the restore cd, so now it's as though I've started over, but things are just a bit sluggish that never were before. It also never used to lock up, yet it does now. I just bought this last August, so it's not like it's a super old computer or anything.

The Cydoor and whatever else should be gone now, but there's just something not right.
